This standard BS EN 61163-1:2006 Reliability stress screening is classified in these ICS categories:
03.120.01 Quality in general
03.120.30 Application of statistical methods
21.020 Characteristics and design of machines, apparatus, equipment
This part of IEC 61163 describes particular methods to apply and optimize reliability stress screening processes for lots of repairable hardware assemblies, in cases where the assemblies have an unacceptably low reliability in the early failure period, and when other methods, such as reliability growth programmes and quality control techniques, are not applicable.
